not_o perceive_v the_o thing_n of_o god_n nor_o know_v they_o yet_o this_o be_v not_o contrary_a to_o what_o i_o say_v that_o christ_n jesus_n light_v every_o man_n that_o come_v in_o the_o world_n

never_o speak_v nor_o enter_v into_o my_o mind_n to_o say_v so_o he_o have_v draw_v his_o evil_a consequence_n from_o my_o word_n and_o then_o confound_v his_o own_o conception_n but_o my_o word_n

be_v no_o contradiction_n to_o the_o apostle_n word_n though_o p._n t._n false_o judge_v so_o for_o want_v of_o better_a understanding_n i_o suppose_v rather_o than_o through_o subtlety_n at_o this_o

and_o also_o fulfil_v righteousness_n in_o all_o that_o believe_v and_o no_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o one_o of_o these_o without_o the_o other_o or_o that_o have_v not_o the_o other_o pag._n 12._o of_o my_o first_o he_o say_v whether_o i_o do_v not_o confound_v justification_n and_o sanctification_n he_o leave_v all_o rational_a man_n to_o judge_v etc._n etc._n reply_n that_o christ_n wrought_v

and_o that_o no_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o the_o righteousness_n that_o christ_n wrought_v without_o who_o believe_v not_o nor_o be_v convert_v to_o god_n but_o in_o the_o power_n of_o satan_n this_o all_o the_o child_n of_o god_n believe_v and_o know_v that_o none_o be_v justify_v by_o christ_n righteousness_n without_o but_o who_o be_v convert_v to_o god_n and_o have_v receive_v christ_n and_o

for_o he_o that_o have_v not_o christ_n god_n righteousness_n within_o he_o be_v a_o reprobate_a and_o not_o justify_v by_o any_o righteousness_n without_o neither_o do_v i_o confound_v

the_o man_n that_o be_v in_o the_o pollution_n of_o the_o world_n unsanctified_a be_v not_o justify_v but_o condemn_v so_o none_o be_v justi_v by_o a_o righteousness_n without_o they_o but_o they_o that_o be_v sanctify_v by_o he_o within_o this_o i_o own_o and_o do_v not_o deny_v and_o man_n that_o be_v in_o the_o save_v corrupt_a reason_n with_o he_o must_v not_o i_o be_v judge_v by_o and_o also_o i_o do_v justify_v if_o any_o work_n be_v wrought_v by_o we_o in_o the_o strength_n and_o power_n of_o grace_n and_o not_o in_o our_o own_o strength_n than_o it_o be_v the_o work_n of_o christ_n in_o we_o the_o work_n of_o god_n own_o righteousness_n and_o that_o no_o work_n or_o word_n be_v justify_v but_o what_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n lead_v unto_o and_o though_o p._n t._n

do_v ask_v he_o which_o he_o have_v ignorant_o affirm_v in_o his_o relation_n whether_o that_o righteousness_n which_o christ_n work_v in_o we_o in_o his_o strength_n and_o power_n and_o not_o in_o our_o own_o be_v call_v our_o righteousness_n which_o he_o seem_v to_o answer_v but_o he_o have_v misunderstand_v my_o word_n for_o i_o mean_v not_o we_o by_o enjoyment_n but_o we_o in_o the_o sense_n the_o prophet_n speak_v when_o he_o say_v our_o righteousness_n be_v as_o filthy_a rag_n i_o know_v the_o righteousness_n that_o christ_n work_v in_o we_o by_o his_o spirit_n and_o the_o power_n of_o his_o grace_n be_v we_o by_o enjoyment_n in_o the_o second_o adam_n as_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n to_o we_o but_o not_o we_o in_o the_o first_o adam_n in_o the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n in_o the_o state_n not_o convert_v and_o that_o be_v the_o strength_n of_o my_o query_n where_o that_o righteousness_n wrought_v in_o we_o by_o the_o spirit_n and_o strength_n of_o christ_n and_o not_o in_o our_o own_o be_v call_v our_o righteousness_n we_o as_o in_o the_o first_o adam_n but_o i_o see_v thou_o have_v not_o understand_v the_o meaning_n of_o my_o query_n for_o weakness_n of_o understanding_n and_o then_o how_o shall_v thou_o right_o answer_v it_o also_o i_o query_v how_o christ_n work_v righteousness_n in_o we_o by_o the_o power_n of_o grace_n not_o by_o our_o own_o strength_n can_v be_v call_v the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n which_o he_o have_v affirm_v now_o i_o mean_v the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n in_o the_o flesh_n and_o not_o in_o the_o spirit_n i_o know_v the_o work_n of_o christ_n both_o in_o we_o to_o will_v and_o to_o do_v by_o his_o spirit_n and_o strength_n and_o power_n of_o grace_n be_v the_o fulfil_n the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n by_o christ_n in_o we_o but_o it_o be_v not_o the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n in_o the_o flesh_n wrought_v by_o we_o as_o unborn_a again_o but_o to_o this_o thou_o have_v not_o answer_v but_o have_v answer_v thy_o own_o conceive_n and_o not_o the_o innocency_n of_o my_o query_n and_o whereas_o he_o stumble_v and_o be_v offend_v because_o i_o say_v no_o man_n be_v justify_v in_o any_o word_n or_o work_v but_o what_o they_o be_v lead_v unto_o by_o the_o spirit_n and_o those_o word_n and_o work_v the_o spirit_n lead_v unto_o be_v justify_v and_o no_o other_o word_n or_o work_n and_o from_o this_o he_o will_v false_o conjecture_v i_o hold_v a_o justification_n by_o work_n and_o by_o something_o without_o or_o beside_o that_o which_o christ_n wrought_v without_o i_o say_v no_o by_o the_o deed_n of_o the_o law_n shall_v no_o flesh_n live_a be_v justify_v but_o yet_o he_o that_o move_v and_o lead_v into_o word_n and_o work_n of_o truth_n and_o righteousness_n the_o same_o do_v justify_v the_o creature_n in_o the_o word_n and_o work_n which_o he_o be_v lead_v unto_o and_o this_o be_v not_o in_o opposition_n to_o the_o apostle_n word_n which_o he_o seem_v to_o bring_v against_o i_o rom._n 5.8_o 9_o while_o we_o be_v sinner_n christ_n die_v for_o we_o much_o more_o be_v justify_v by_o his_o blood_n we_o shall_v be_v save_v from_o the_o wrath_n this_o be_v not_o contrary_a to_o what_o i_o say_v for_o we_o do_v own_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n to_o justify_v but_o yet_o not_o such_o who_o be_v not_o cleanse_v by_o it_o and_o lead_v by_o the_o spirit_n into_o all_o truth_n but_o it_o be_v they_o that_o be_v justify_v only_o who_o be_v lead_v into_o all_o truth_n by_o the_o spirit_n such_o be_v justify_v by_o his_o blood_n in_o the_o spirit_n and_o save_v from_o wrath_n who_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o immortal_a word_n but_o they_o that_o remain_v in_o sin_n be_v not_o justify_v nor_o save_v from_o wrath_n then_o he_o query_v whether_o i_o shut_v pardon_n of_o sin_n out_o of_o door_n i_o answer_v no_o for_o they_o that_o be_v lead_v into_o all_o truth_n by_o the_o spirit_n their_o sin_n be_v pardon_v and_o forgive_v and_o remember_v no_o more_o but_o blot_v out_o and_o can_v be_v read_v for_o they_o be_v cleanse_v from_o it_o and_o commit_v not_o sin_n then_o he_o ask_v whether_o i_o grant_v two_o formal_a cause_n of_o justification_n the_o one_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n the_o other_o inherent_a righteousness_n i_o say_v both_o the_o cause_n and_o the_o work_n of_o righteousness_n be_v in_o god_n his_o free_a love_n and_o mercy_n which_o be_v over_o all_o his_o work_n and_o they_o receive_v the_o work_n of_o it_o and_o the_o gift_n of_o it_o that_o be_v lead_v by_o the_o spirit_n as_o the_o effect_n
thereof_o and_o none_o else_o though_o he_o ask_v whether_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n have_v its_o rice_n from_o what_o christ_n work_v in_o we_o or_o from_o what_o christ_n have_v do_v and_o suffer_v for_o we_o i_o say_v whatsoever_o christ_n have_v do_v and_o suffer_v without_o man_n while_o man_n have_v not_o receive_v christ_n nor_o the_o work_n of_o christ_n in_o he_o but_o remain_v in_o the_o first_o adam_n in_o transgression_n the_o true_a work_n and_o ground_n of_o justification_n he_o know_v not_o nor_o have_v not_o neither_o know_v the_o mediatorship_n between_o god_n and_o he_o then_o
